How to follow/unfollow applications and what it means

Deal room members can follow company applications to receive notifications about application-related activities, such as new comments, discussion messages and funding interests on the application.

To follow an application:

Locate the application in the deal room
Open the All actions menu of the application
Choose “Follow”

A star will appear next to the applications you are following in the funnel list view.

You start automatically following an application when you:

Leave an internal comment
Send a message in Application discussion
Send a message in Participants discussion of the funding round
Send a message in Funding discussion with the company
Mark funding interest
Assign the application or an application task to yourself

You can unfollow an application any time by choosing “Unfollow” from the same All actions menu.

When you have marked funding interest on the application (or funding interest has been marked on your behalf), you will still receive funding round related notifications after unfollowing the application. If you don’t want to receive funding round related notifications, you should remove your funding interest or mark that you are not interested in the application (read more below).

More information about adjusting personal notifications settings is available here.

More information about adjusting deal room notifications settings as an admin is available here.

How to mark that you are not interested in an application?

Deal room members can mark that they are not interested in specific applications if they don’t want to receive any notifications about those applications.

To mark that you’re not interested in an application:

Locate the application in the deal room
Open the All actions menu of the application
Choose “Not interested”

Marking that you’re not interested in an application will also hide that application in your funnel list view. You can view hidden applications by changing a filter (read more below).

The "Not interested" action can be reversed by choosing "Unhide" from the same All actions menu.

How to filter applications by following/not interested status?

There is a special filter for that in the funnel/database/discover view. To apply the filter:

Click on the Filter button on top of the funnel
Open the Follow filter
Choose which applications you want to see
